BATTERY DRAIN TEST | 2020 M1 MacBook Air vs. 2020 M1 13-Inch MacBook Pro

It's that time again... time for a Battery Drain Test only this time, putting up the 2 M1 MacBooks up against each other and also to compare in real-time, I also included a prior Intel MacBook Air.

ALL Settings were identical, Tru-Tone disabled, all connected to the same wi fi network, all had the sleep timer set to never and each macbook was set to 85% brightness.

Were you surprised with the results?
Each machine was put through a variety of tasks that were meant to drain the battery more rapidly than normal. Ofc, not everyone is gonna do benchmarking, netflix, video exports & gaming all in one session, but it goes to show just how powerful the M1 chips really are. Give me your thoughts down below!

Holy! The winner is actually the ipad which kept on counting the time.

Crazy the 13” pro lasted that long after ALL THAT TESTING + near max brightness 🤯

I don’t think anyone uses their laptop this long without pauses but as far as battery draining test goes, great work!!! I really appreciate how much efforts you’ve put into running the test and writing the scripts! Liked & subscribed!

I have the Air M1. And for programming usage, with safari, adobe xd and vs code opened (and some other stuff like Spotify), I can work without recharging for around 6 hours.

Unplugged my M1 MBP at around 12:00PM today and after a full day of working on updating my resume, opening up a few PowerPoints, having Webull and ThinkorSwim open, and now lastly ending the night with a few YouTube consumption; I'm now here sitting at 74% at 12:44AM. Yeah...the M1 MBP's battery life is no joke. I love it.

I've always been a windows guy but I'm getting pretty sick of noisy fans. Huge battery life and especially fanless processor is a huge plus

In my macbook air m1 15 hours of video via internet, and still 26% of battery remains

The M1 Pro is beasty af. After an hour of use my battery drained 5%. Like, what. Apple ain't messin around man, they on some revolutionary shit.

I was waiting for a specific video like this. A week ago I performed my own battery drain test on the M1 Air. After watching only You Tube videos for 14.5 hours straight, the battery was down to 7 percent. Perhaps if I watched less videos and more productive typing I could have went to 18 hours as Apple stated. Nice video.

I’ve been looking forward to this video for ever and it didn’t disappoint. Your videos are always well scripted and get to the point. Very nice channel and gave it a like.

What a drain test is take more than 9 hour to done, what a effort

[workhardforit]

Damn almost 9 hours at 85% brightness. Will receive my M1 MBP on the 22nd.

Can’t wait!!!!

[CPX]

I could squeeze 20 hours out of M1 MacBook with my very light usage. The heaviest app I run is Chrome. Can’t wait to see the redesigned Air and Pro!

[YaserHoseini]

Amazing, my Asus laptop 1h30 battery life 😭

[fahadbshahid]

Now that is a real battery test. That is some top notch hardwork. Great work man. Subscribed.

Came here to check if my M1 Air battery performance is what others experience, too. Yep, it's similar. Thanks! Love the narration btw

[bellaa]

I have waited so long, THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊. I know it takes a long time so thank you ☺️

[tracephoto]

So killer. I can’t wait for the M1(X)? Version of the 4 port 13” MBP. Great testing. If you would have done 60% brightness you would have been there until 8am! LOL

[jetmartin]

AWESOME video....AND thank you for doing this at 85% brightness levels..I hate dim screens and battery test that are done at 50% screen brightness are pretty much useless to me. You get thumbs up and a sub just for this video. Keep up the useful videos. THANK YOU!

This man deserves some more likes for all this hardwork!
